This Week's Nature


A male Sumatran rhinoceros is born in a conservation park in Indonesia. His mother, Ratu, is one of only 10 Sumatran rhinos living in captivity. Only 200 Sumatran rhinos now live in the wild in Indonesia and Malaysia. But Indonesia's forest minister Zulkifli Hasan says the birth has boosted confidence in efforts to conserve endangered species.
